'he' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'tame a horse a white horse?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tame' could be 'break' (breaking is a kind of taming) and 'break' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'can' is the link.
